ATLANTA, Aug. 27.-The Atlanta Daily
Capitol has created a sensation by demand
ing that Jefferson Davis should be invited to
the Piedmont exposition, to be held here in
October, and that by his hand President
Cleveland should be welcomed The Capitol
asks why Mr.. Davis has not been invited, and
insinuates that it is because the Prohibition
lists are prejudiced against him. 1t accuses
the people of Atlanta of fickleness, hypocrisy
or forgetfunesS and declares that Henry w.
Grady should be the man to Introduce Mr..
Davis to President Cleveland. This act, it
says, would alone convince the north that
when their southern cousins extend a wei
